I haven't removed any of the deactivated ports myself, but I only have  
one version of mesa around.  That should mean it wasn't upgraded.

$ port installed mesa
The following ports are currently installed:
   mesa @7.2_7+hw_render (active)

I tried to figure out where mesa came from.
$ port dependents mesa
mesa has no dependents!

So what installed mesa?

If I deactivate all my installed ports and then install the old  
version of Gnucash, will that fix things, or will that only reactivate  
the proper dependencies but not recompile them against their correct  
dependencies?
